BDifficulty 3/5

On a carriageway with sufficiently wide lanes marked by broken longitudinal lines, there is no need to occupy the line. Is it correct to continuously drive on the marking separating lanes?

Correct answer

No, drive within your lane in this situation.

No; drive within the lane. The current road-marking catalogue states that drivers do not travel on broken lines unless lane width makes it necessary and safety permits it. This exception does not depend on the total carriageway being above or below six metres wide. Crossing a line for a permitted safe lane change differs from continuously driving on it.
